Red Man: Top 10 at Loch Ness Festival in Huffington Post review

Superb news on Red Man, the motion comic / 2D animation I made earlier this year. Been quite busy storyboarding and filming an online web series so didn't have time to post this. But Red Man made it as one of the top 10 film shorts to go and see at the Loch Ness Film Festival 2014!

I want to go to there. Awesome  stuff, you can read it all here in the Huffington Post .... post. Here:

Designing and adding a few bits and pieces. Busying myself. That's my neologism for the day

#sfl48hr The 'Elevation' Entry

Elevation #sfl48hr #teambluntspear from Dulani Wilson on Vimeo.

Last weekend was quite hectic. I was up for over 24 hours. And no, it was not enjoyable. No partying or anything fun. Was directing, animating and editing a sci fi short as part of the Sci-Fi London 48 hour Film Competition #sfl48hr. At one point I remember typing a tweet only to realise I was not in twitter, but actually typing the tweet out in google Search. Sleep is serious. Check out some stills on shoot day:

Ok, so basic idea behind the competition, is you get a brief, telling you the concept, title, a line and prop to be incorporated in the film on the day. So after receiving this, I wrote a script, got some talented actors and shot the thing. Had to dress up a room at the back of my house to look like a sterile factory / Dexter killroom. It turned out great considering. Better than the alternative. All the locations I was researching apparently want 1000 GBP to 2500 GBP for location fees for a few hours. Thanks Film London. Always good to see you doing your part to raise the next generation of filmmakers.

After shooting, took a little rest, then started designing the elements for the computer screen. The Sunday I woke up was the worse. I went full steam, editing, correlating with two music makers/ composers, sound, sfx, simple grade and export. Didn't sleep until 1.00pm on Monday. But I am overall happy with the result.

Thanks for all the help and support over the weekend, comrades!

Sum up,
Upwards and onwards

Sum up,

Supreme!! Supreme!! ARRGHH!!

Redman. It comes.

Redman. Defiant. Tragic. Claiming kinghood the old fashioned way. Through blood, menage and might.

Working some more on frames in my a short animation based on Macbeth. Yeah that one. My on and off projects for years now, but it's coming together. I swear. Thought I'd share a frame I just did:

Castle of Glass: Fissure King #castleofglassdesign #fissureking

Hello gang! Check out this cool image I did for the awesome titanic competition hosted by Talenthouse and the infamous Linkin Park to celebrate their release of the single Castle of Glass. 'Fissure King' is a semblance of power and weakness, almost like being a king without subjects. But what do you think. Listen to the track on Spotify and see if the image conjures the same emotion as the song:

STAK'S How We Roll: The Pelvic Grind of the Urban Creatives

Yours truly and Remi King did some shooting on Monday...or was it Tuesday? Music Video time, got help from a cool team of people. Stak's How We Roll is the video and Remi, with some aid from me came up with a cool narrative that ended up getting scrapped so we went out on a strong, performance video. Well, because I am terrible with names (Hugh and Jack I believe) you can see their lovely faces:



All in all great laughs, great talks. I know I will be seeing em again. Video is going through a rigorous edit session Friday/Saturday, so should be completed soonish then we do the rounds- TVchannels and all that jazzy jazz.

Sum up,
You know that weird state of being where someone shows contempt but tries everything to get your attention to the fact they still exist? Never understood that. Anyways, I have one thing to say to the Creatives out there...'create'. For better for worse. Chaos or harmony. Simply be.
